“…The use of multibeam and SSS techniques for archaeological documentation is well‐documented in marine environments (Gould & Green, 1991; Solana Rubio et al, 2023; Teixeira et al, 2018; Violante, 2020), some of them in Spanish waters (Castillo Belinchón et al, 2012; Higueras‐Milena Castellano & Cerezo Andreo, 2021; Negreruela Martínez et al, 2019), but perhaps not as many experiences in freshwater settings (Janowski et al, 2021; Yang et al, 2020).…”

The evolving dynamics of climate change and water resource management present unique challenges for the research and conservation of archaeological heritage, particularly within reservoirs. The Dolmen of Guadalperal in Spain and its surrounding archaeological sites exemplify such a scenario. This study is dedicated to the development and application of a comprehensive methodology for archaeological documentation and site detection, integrating an array of approaches including Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) from Sentinel‐1, photogrammetric restitution using historical imagery and geometric recording of sites with diverse sensing equipment. A distinctive aspect of this research lies in juxtaposing multibeam sonar data, typically associated with underwater surveys, with standard land‐based documentation methods like photogrammetry and LiDAR. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of integrating data from these diverse techniques in detecting new archaeological sites and monitoring their alterations, which could be potentially harmful.

“…The government archaeological services of France, Italy, and Spain have directed a series of deep-water surveys and excavations, led by archaeologists including Franca Cibecchini, Barbara Davidde, Iván Negueruela Martinez, and Michel L'Hour, at shipwrecks in the Oranto Strait (780m), Gulf of Cadiz (1,100m), Capo Corso (350m), and more (L'Hour, Creuze and Dégez 2020; Martinez et al 2020;Davidde, Masiello and Raguso 2022;Cibecchini and L'Hour 2023). This includes a large-scale collaborative survey between Algeria, Croatia, Egypt, France, Italy, Morocco, Spain, and Tunisia, led by UNESCO, at Skerki Bank, which relocated several shipwrecks found by Ballard and McCann's team as well as locating several new shipwrecks (UNESCO 2022).…”

This paper reviews the trends, topics, and research directions in shipwreck archaeology over the past decade. As archaeology increasingly embraces advances in technological methods that can aid our research, the so-called ‘digital turn’, it behoves maritime archaeologists, and archaeologists more broadly, to consider how collaborative utilization of specialized fields including biomolecular archaeology, geophysics, and contemporary philosophy have spurred on a rapid modernization of our field in recent times. Archaeological research, both terrestrial and underwater, has long been a collaborative discipline. However, we argue here that difficulties in working underwater have encouraged maritime and underwater archaeologists to embrace technological developments at a rapid pace. An explicit theoretical framework and the incorporation of contemporary philosophy in the field of underwater archaeology was, until recently, largely lacking in the discipline’s discourse. The incorporation and advancement of adjacent disciplines within the field of underwater archaeology mark the most relevant changes within the shifting tides of shipwreck research.
